What indeed?! Thanx Walter. Can't wait to see Rickert's face once inside Falconia. This is gonna be priceless, with him being one of my favorite side characters.

Let's hope he becomes a main character, I could certainly see him taking over for Griffith and the Bank of the Hawk's perspective now that Falconia is a reality. Rickert is easily one of my top favorites, I'm more interested in his and Erica's development than I am everyone outside of the obvious Guts/Casca. Which is weird because I normally loathe children in my stories.

I also hope we see more of Laban and Owen. My hunch is Rickert will continue on with them, though I wouldn't mind him running into Sonia or Mule as well. It seems to fit. I'd also like to see Minister Foss. I almost feel nostalgic, like we're going to maybe get a piece of those Golden Age politics again, except this time Griffith is king.

10 more days!

yes. A little bit like when we saw the resistance for the first time in Windham and the part with the revelations where we see Raban, always got me excited. So yeah it'd be nice to see Rickert meet Owen and the likes.(I know he's with Raban right now so I didn't mention him)

And now that you mention it, I'd really like him to meet Mule and Sonia. It'd be an interesting meeting imo.

Thancks Walter !! I hope that this episode will be longer then the previous episodeFor example the last episode had 18 pages and i would really like to see something like maybe 21-23 pagei am excited for the encounter beetwen Griffith and Rickert, but i still have this big question in my headWhat will Rickert do ? On the one hand, he particulary cant hate griffith because he didnt experienced the eclipse by his own eyes, but on the other hand he has in my opinion not the strength and power to travel by his own Ad i cant image that he will leave Erica by her own at FalconiaBut i am really interested in seeing the way miura will show us the thoughts of Rickert in Falconia, because he heard what Griffith has done to the Band of the Haw at the Eclipsewhile the citizens are seeing Griffith as their saviour etc. Daamn Man i am so excited

Do you know any sites where i can order the next issue of young animal ?Thancks

I could certainly see him taking over for Griffith and the Bank of the Hawk's perspective now that Falconia is a reality.

I don't think the others necessarily need to be removed in terms of perspective. Adding Rickert to the mix certainly provides an interesting context the others don't have, since he knows about the true nature of apostles (and fulfilling a possibility we've been talking about here for almost 3 years). But that doesn't mean Raban, Owen and Foss, or any other characters that rear their heads in Falconia, also wouldn't be valuable.

That's... a weird thing to say.

I get it. Basically, you'd also like to see the rest of the cast.

Could be, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense to have the same kind of court intrigue, given the complete control Griffith must be exerting--blessed by the people as a hero, the princess as a lover, and the pontiff as a savior. He's essentially eliminated political strife. A better question is are there those in Falconia who who don't fall in line (and what are there reasons for not doing so?). It would definitely be neat to see if a downtrodden element of society exists within Falconia.

I imagine it will be.

Yep. Regardless of his reservations, pretty sure it's going to come down to ensuring Erica's safety.

I subscribe to it through Kinokuniya books in New York. If you're local to New York City, you can visit there yourself and pick up the latest magazine. Otherwise, a 6-month subscription costs about $180, shipped--and that's the minimum order that they'll fulfill. If you're interested in setting that up, call here (415) 673-7431 and tell them you'd like to subscribe to Young Animal, a magazine published by Hakusensha.

And if you want the next issue, I'd call today and let them know you'd like that subscription to start immediately.

Beyond that, he has a supernatural grasp over the city that is pretty much insubvertible. It reminds me of Locus' words in episode 291: "This kind of trifle affairs that goes on in this world, it is meaningless already."

I'm so excited I can't even put it into words! There is a Kinokuniya in Oregon where I live, I'm going to have to find out if they stock YA there. Subscribing is out of my budget so buying issue to issue is my only option right now.

That's the best option if the store's close to you anyway. That way you only get the issues with Berserk!

There's a place somewhat nearby (half hour drive) where I can buy YA, but sometimes when I would drive out to get a copy I cant tell if the issue has sold out or they have simply not arrived to the store yet. Im definitely going to check out the store 3 times next week if I have to.

If they definitely receive the magazine you could probably just reserve a copy that way it'll be waiting for you when you arrive.

Interesting that he seemingly didn't stockpile the episodes. I'm optimistically hoping he's setting a new pace by skipping 2 issues after coming back from a long break.

You mean like a release every month? or more like 1 every 2 months? i would not mind either option. less stress for the master imo then a release every 2 weeks. Either way, soon it's gonna be Berserk time with an awesome episode.
